Orchid leaves are emerald green and slender, and their blooms are fresh and elegant. Orchids are a flower that quite likes fertilizer, and they are also prone to pests. Huahua teaches you how to fertilize them without attracting pests!








  

How do you fertilize orchids?



Orchids like fertilizer, so how should you fertilize them? What kind of fertilizer is best for orchids?








  

1. Don't throw away cigarette ash - it's great fertilizer for orchids!




If someone in your home smokes, you can collect the cigarette ash. This is a real treasure for growing orchids! It not only supplements potassium for orchids, but also effectively prevents orchids from attracting pests. The effect is excellent!







  

Collect the cigarette ash and spread it directly on the surface of the orchid pot. Then, through watering, the nutrients in the cigarette ash slowly seep down and can be absorbed by the orchids. It can also repel pests~







  

This is a complaint from a certain flower enthusiast. It feels like flower-growing smokers have another excuse now......................





2. After eating peanuts, use the peanut shells to grow orchids~




It's peanut-eating season right now. Don't rush to throw away the leftover peanut shells - using them to grow flowers works wonderfully.






 

Note: you need the kind of peanut shells with no salt. Sun them for 1-2 days, put them in a bag, add some clean water, seal and ferment. Generally one month is enough. Mix the blackened peanut shells with bark and leaf mold, and it becomes the best growing medium for orchids.
